I was very late to the party getting a smartphone. Didn't stop me picking up my laptop repeatedly. Visiting the same old haunts.

I have yet to install Facebook or Whatsapp or similar. I think it would be the death of me. I spend way too much time on my phone/computer.

I was in a care giving role and felt it couldn't leave my side. Since losing that person, I now rejoice in being able to leave my phone. Heck I didn't turn it on yesterday. And it has been sitting in the kitchen all day today.

The telephone does fill me with existential dread as most communication with me is asking me for something or alerting me to something negative. Perhaps that's an age thing. Whereas the Internet is still pleasurable but a complete and utter time suck.
And yet, everyone hates snap
Again, why would it be worse? There’s very real benefits to some of the proprietary standards that you can’t get from PD. Just because PD offers higher wattage doesn’t mean the overall charging is faster. If you have to generate a ton of heat to convert the incoming power to voltage that the battery can take, it will hinder how fast you can charge your phone. This is especially problematic at higher voltages.
Now it's has the MIT license too, thanks :)
I've also seen the "your feedback is wrong" pushback. Like... do they expect me to say "oh woops my bad. actually here's an offer"?

That's not relevant. Your phone does not need to work for a long time underwater. The phone can be perfectly waterproof even if there's water between phone and battery.
The pain of a possible future panopticon dwarfs the "pain" of some software crashing. Considering long-term outcomes does not make you a sociopath - quite the opposite.
You're spot on. Thanks for drawing this out and making it clear that, no matter what might be going on in the industry, the original poster's issue obtaining (and probably keeping) a job is about their contrarian attitude and lack of social skills.
i'm sure the vast majority of americans spent 2.5 months on their phones reading books, of course, we have nothing to worry about
Open terminal, run the script in the terminal? You don't have to load the IDE to write to files just because you do your manual work in the IDE.
You're coming across just fine. The problem is that you made a sweeping generalization that "I think we can all agree" when it is obvious that we cannot. Your definition does not make sense to me, just as mine does not make sense to you. Neither one matters anyway now that there is a legal definition that must be adhered to.
> The worst was the agency that lined me up for a contract role, got me to fill out all the paperwork only for the job to fall through because the client apparently never got budget signed off for the position.

I could be wrong, but I think that might have been a lie.

I've heard it before, too, and I've come to doubt it; I think it too unlikely to be heard with such frequency as I do hear it.

I've also had on three occasions agents call up after a day or two and tell "something about the budget, so the rate is now less than expected".

In two cases I came to know the agency was simply lying, and was keeping the difference for itself, and I expect it to be true also in the third.
Show HN: Languine – Open-Source AI-Powered CLI for App Localization

I wonder if I have to start working on take home problems inside a VM because it might potentially have malware in it.

Although, given the number of features being asked to implement, I'd probably have passed on this one.
This is the trap they have you in. Of course there is always something "more interesting" on the internet. The interesting creates the adrenaline rush, the adrenaline rush gets you addicted by changing adrenaline receptor density which leads you looking for something even more exciting.

Even when you are just looking around IRL, one view will be more interesting than the other, right? But now that got you all doped up on "super interesting" through this teleportation device to all things interesting, everything around you look extremely boring in comparison.

As your adrenaline receptors come back to life you will find that everything around you is really actually quite interesting.

The robots.txt does not prevent Google from scraping the quote page, which is the one that matches for me:

> The real next step is standardizing battery sizes. Think of all the other gadgets that have replaceable batteries. (Eg. Power tools)

I don't think we are at that point yet. There is still a lot of innovation happening in batteries on the cell and pack level. Cell sizes are mostly standardized indeed, but packs not. For high performance and reliability, you might want to glue those cells in-place. Or some manufacturer may decide to use a more capable battery management system, which then requires more space. I think that enforcing standardization would be a major hindrance for innovation.

> price gouging

Can we stop using this term? It's a meaningless word used by politicians to scapegoat businesses. If they really wanted to solve problems, they would go after monopolies or cartels. Both hinder competition and thus make it less likely that the consumer gets a good deal. "Price gouging" on the other hand is about whether a price is "fair" or not. Unlike monopolies or cartels, there is no clear definition for "fairness". I can call something fair while you would call it unfair. You cannot solve people being unfair to other people, but you can solve a lack of competition. So that's where the aim should be.
I’m polish and I legitimately do not know what are you talking about.

> Except that, still, to this day, most sexual consent is assumed, not explicit

Did you miss my sarcastic little requote blurb that stated exactly that? Or do you normally rephrase the exact same point with added ad hominem attacks, and somehow frame it as a counterpoint?

> The same way, most tech privacy consent is assumed, not explicit.

And yet, you still have a right to it. In both instances.
The bar to proving SLAPP is quite high in the US. The protections do exist but they're so obscure and difficult that nobody feels safe, and invalid suits occur all the time.

It's interesting that the malware is based on Node. A person trying to solve the take-home using Deno would have needed to pass flags similar to the ones mentioned[1] and perhaps have caught the problem immediately.

> It's just one dude's preferred names for things, not a magic recipe.

Pretty much most frameworks can be described like this. I think its worth choosing one when you start then sticking with it. Like you say, refactoring down the road is a huge effort and not a huge benefit.
Sorry, the implication was that it’s “easy to do” insofar as simply getting it from a pharma manufacturer.

The problem is getting the drugs you need is not easy to do, and while 4 thieves isn’t “easy” yet, it actually is way easier than arguing with insurance, needing a PA, getting a letter of medical necessity, only to still get rejected, and then having to argue with your state insurance board through an IMR.

That’s what I meant. All it takes is one or a few people to start doing this for friends, and it begins to spread.

And that says nothing of when Shkreli or anyone else jacks up the price of an important life-saving medication simply because, well, they can.
If we assume a batter needs replacement, that is likely to be years after a new phone. A years old used phone with an old battery will usually have a bad battery too, though. It is more about whether older hardware is worth it to invest with a new battery in the first place.

Outside the EU, in many cases, device batteries will also be user-swappable.

Companies like Apple greatly prefer (well, when they're not petulantly trying to show the EU who's boss) to ship one design to the whole world. It's a nuisance to have separate design processes, manufacturing processes, marketing materials, etc.

This is why, once it became affordable, the entire industry started making auto-switching power supplies.

Unless hardware manufacturers finagle a way to continue selling soldered batteries in the EU, user-swappable batteries will become the norm again.
Also in rural Germany you will need a car anyway, even if all major cities are well connected.
It's not just discipline. Kindles are more convenient too for reading. No refresh rate so you can spend hours reading without eye strain.
The steelseries apex pro is awfully pricy for that kind of keyboard. For budget-minded fans, as far as I can tell so far the Royal Kludge RK84 is the only decent keyboard with a usable USB hub, but it's cheap plastic chassis and keycaps are quite the turnoff.

Hopefully something decent shows up in the market that mixes the best of mechanical keyboards with the very basic user experience of using a laptop.

Not sure I believe it. Fission reactors are already too expensive and fusion reactors look worse. The one path to avoid the dieoff is probably to develop an energy source which is cheaper (counting all expenses such as storage and transportation) than fossil fuels. We need to get the people who think they can't afford eggs or to have immigrants in their country to be out with pitchforks to stop fossil fuel projects that cost too much in comparison.

The fusion reactor cannot melt down the way a fission reactor does but it has many of the same problems a fusion reactor does: the tritium used in the D+T reaction is powerfully radioactive and is difficult to contain because it is an isotope of hydrogen that can burrow its way right through metal containers and will find its way into ordinary water molecules. D+T fusion also creates a high neutron flux which will damage the reactor walls and maybe make them radioactive. If somebody wanted to make plutonium for nuclear weapons that neutron flux is highly attractive: there has been a lot of research on cycles that use a D+T fusion reactor to breed U233 or Pu238 from common materials.
the subtext of their comment, the unspoken implication, the between the lines meaning was that it's fine people are on their phone all the time, because some of them are reading books
If this was a legit study I'd expect an arXiv link or similar instead. Looking at their methodology, it's vague enough to be interpreted as 'ok' but really I'd expect ALOT more information on their sample distributions, weighting done to that sample for comparison, etc. It skimps on all the actual details. Seems like clickbaity junk to me, but I'm open to the idea that there is meaningful studies to be had here on this subject, or that this was done in a proper way but was communicated poorly.

Reviews.org surveyed 1,000 Americans 18 years and older with a +/- 4% margin of error and a confidence level of 95%. The survey results were weighted to reflect characteristics of the United States population using available data from the US census. Respondents were asked to refer to their phone’s screen time report to determine the average number of times per day they check their phones, in addition to how much time in total they spend on their phones per day.

1. I've ideally wanted it to work with the native zones in windows, and possibly with powertoys' zones too, but they're not really well documented afaik and I haven't been able to get it to work yet. My plan was to just have it work like when you're moving it in windows, move it to a corner to snap to there, and if you hold shift it would place it in a zone.
2. Do you mean swapping LMB and RMB? It uses both mouse buttons so if you use Win+LMB/RMB for something else you'll need to change one of them to not conflict

I've also followed the same issue (and posted this there already too) but wasn't satisfied with any of the alternatives people suggested so I just made my own instead :)

Wait, what? Has this been your experience? My sense has been the exact opposite: the younger the person the more attached to the phone and the more sense of existential dread when it goes missing.

There's also a political factor for why it's not being boosted, in that as long as the ISS exists governments and the public would want to see it maintained and used. Just boosting it and letting it rot would make space agencies look really bad in the eyes of the public. It's better to just decommission it and have no chance of a future salvage effort. (this doesn't touch on why not do privatization of the ISS, other comments have responded)
Being in a tall vehicle (like a double decker bus) - it is horrifying how many people are on their phones.

I agree with the sentiment, but I'd say specifically the Fediverse is the only real place for a truly decentralised option.

It doesn't need to be Mastodon. You don't need to be on Mastodon to interact with the Fediverse or be part of it, and that is the key strength. Mastodon can be corrupted and the Fediverse is still there.

That could include Bluesky over time - you can follow my Mastodon from Bluesky via a bridge [1] - any desirable parts of their protocol, will be copied or emulated or bolted on the side for other Fediverse projects.

I like it but not the proprietary configuration tool.
I get the snark on the technical merits, but saying that Four Thieves is just a joke is sort of like saying that Luigi Mangione is just a murderer. The reason that they have such notoriety is that countless people are deeply disappointed and frustrated by the state of the systems that they're lashing out against. It's arguably a cousin to the Silicon Valley "disruption" mindset: playing by the rules has only made things stagnant (if not worse), so the new heroes are the ones who make their own rules.
What a goofy thing to say. I have excellent social skills and I do not have a contrarian attitude. The original post isn't even about my personal experiences. I've asked others what their experiences have been. Would you mind pointing to something outside of this post that would make you claim that I have a contrarian attitude and lack of social skills? Would you mind pointing to a specific job in which these alleged defects affected me negatively?

I recall holding down many jobs for many consecutive years and being let go of only one. I related why I was let go: the owner was able to hire cheaper foriegn labor - were you aware of this? The president said in 2016 that hiring h1b just to save a buck is something he would permanently end.

Here is a link to his statements. Were you aware of this as well?

>The expectations of you being "fucked up" or "scarred" is imposed on you from others and is obnoxious,

It's worse than that. Societal expectations of whether one ought to be traumatized play a huge part in whether people are traumatized. So all these people are making the problem worse.
I think at this point Americans need to be questioning the partnership between the major capital interests and the major political parties. We all know we’re getting screwed, but the parties are adept at keeping us blaming each other and playing tug of war while they get away with whatever their sponsors want, more or less. It’s not a problem that’s going to get solved by a Democrat or Republican supermajority in Congress, control over the Supreme Court, or control of all branches of government.
In traffic, this number approaches 90%. I see it through every window as I cycle past the queues.

The funniest is when the lights go green and a large gap opens up in the traffic because someone has got sucked into their phone and forgot they were driving. Remarkably common.
> I don't understand how there were ICE or possibly hybrid cars involved in the leak.

The data-collection has nothing to do with the used engine, but the software-platform. Basically, the "OS" on which the car is running. EVs and premium Cars where the first to modernize this platform, and for obvious reasons they all use the same platform. After that, other cars are moving on to this platform too, so they now have a mix of different car-models who are mainly defined by their price-category.
Mastodon is worse if you pick servers that insist on being activist, and bother to care about the drama, sure. You don't need to do either.

Our phones replaced numerous different devices. All the time we used to spend watching TV, listening to music, reading books, getting the news, playing games, talking to friends is now done on our phones.
That's my biggest issue with it. I didn't even have twitter to begin with, but after trying out Bluesky I've barely had the patience to use it. Most people on there seem to be ultra-left wing virtue signalling phychopaths. It's obnoxiously progressive with no space for nuanced thought.
